The short-interest ratio is the total number of shares sold short (short interest) divided by average daily volume. This is also called "days to cover" because it shows - given the security's average trading volume - how many days it will take to cover all of the short positions. The higher the ratio, the longer it would take to buy back the borrowed shares, and the potentially more bullish it is. It is potentially bullish because if some positive catalyst occurs, then there may be heavy buying demand from those short looking to cover (buy back) their shares.
